Joint Force Land Component Commander (JFLCC), is a United States Department of Defense doctrinal term.
It refers to an individual of general officer rank that is responsible for land forces within a joint operations environment.
As defined in Joint Doctrine Document 1-02, the JFLCC is: "The commander within a unified command, subordinate unified command, or joint task force responsible to the establishing commander for making recommendations on the proper employment of assigned, attached, and/or made available for tasking land forces; planning and coordinating land operations; or accomplishing such operational missions as may be assigned.
While the position is usually held by a United States Army officer in most joint warfighting environments, an officer of another service can be a JFLCC, if that service has the preponderance of land forces in theater (i.e. a Marine Corps unit commander).
